The Tavern In the Woods

This game is a lot like walking around the setting of what could be a promising horror game. I thought i was stuck or didnt know how to progress until i read the other reviews.

Well, what to say about this. It's free to play game, so that's big plus. And that's probably all positive you can say about it. This game seems to be just some first-game project. It feels very unfinished. Graphics look decent, visual effects look spectacular, but game itself is poorly optimized. Game takes like 10 minutes to finish. Story is progressing in weird manner - there are like 2-3 short voice monologues, rest is paper scraps full of text. Story seems to have interesting setting and theme, but overall execution is like it's nonexistent. I get it. It's free to play game. So you expect some lack of quality in graphics and gameplay. But without intersting and atleast a little bit finished story, this game is just waste of time.

Really nice little indie story. No complaints. The dev said that that they were going to expand on the story. I hope that they do more and bigger things. One thing I thought was strange is that the moon is really low, and you can walk past it. Maybe this is something in the upcoming story, maybe not. Doesn't bother me, just a little strange to see. Could probably reduce the run speed a tiny bit too. Really nice little game though. Wouldn't mind it being longer, like an amnesia type game but in the forest. Either way worth trying out for sure.

I can move in this game! But my mouse doesn't work, cuz apparently the only thing to click is the esc, quit and uninstall

Its an interesting interactive story with dark and magical elements. There is a little jump scare but its very light i would hardly call it a horror. It doesn't seem to have a discernible ending at the moment but worth the short play through.

Interesting little experience. I didn't get every achievement, but seeing the general story took me ten minutes, which is totally fine for what it is (and it's not like I paid for it). There was a jump scare early on that legit got me, which doesn't happen very often, so I'll give kudos there. The pages you read tell an interesting little fantasy story, and I never felt like anything was taking too long to happen. Using a [spoiler] goblin [/spoiler] as a central... hero? Character? I'm not sure how to characterize it. Anyway, using that as that is different, though the model looks a LITTLE out of place. My biggest complaint is the narration, and this is a weird complaint: I don't know if it's a problem with the sound quality or what, but it has a slight echo to the voice, that makes it sound almost synthetic, like it's a text-to-speech, even though it clearly isn't. It just takes you out of it a little bit, which is a shame because I honestly quite enjoyed this and look forward to seeing what the developer does next, whether they do another free quickie or something more substantial. I played this because I'm a fan of visual novels and it's marked as one in the tags, and I don't think I would classify it as a visual novel? It's a walking simulator. Debatably an adventure game, depending on your definition, but it's pretty firmly more in the vein of Dear Esther and Beginner's Guide, if only in gameplay rather than substance. I enjoy walking sims too, so I have no issue with that, I just need to give that distinction.

Gra właśnie się ukazała i wygląda na to, że jest to pierwsza gra dewelopera, który prawdopodobnie pracuje głównie w pojedynkę. Zaczynamy nocą w środku lasu, a jedynym źródłem światła jest pobliska karczma. Miejsce wygląda na puste i wkrótce znów znajdujemy się na zewnątrz, by eksplorować mroczny las. Chociaż na stronie w sklepie jest napisane, że to krótka gra i trzeba ją ukończyć za jednym posiedzeniem, mi się to nie udało. Po pewnym czasie błąkałem się bez celu. Ale udało mi się zwiedzić kilka miejsc, przeczytać parę notatek i obejrzeć parę przerywników filmowych. Oprawa jest świetna, a gra ma niesamowity klimat. Jak na typową grę niezależną przystało, nie jest dobrze zoptymalizowana, brakuje zaawansowanych ustawień graficznych, a w tekstach, które znajdujemy, jest kilka literówek. Jestem przekonany, że deweloper planuje w najbliższej przyszłości wprowadzić poprawki/aktualizacje. Do tego czasu mogę tylko polecić ten mały symulator chodzenia. *aktualizacja* Minęło kilka tygodni, a gra już otrzymała kilka poprawek/łatek. Gra jest teraz znacznie bardziej zoptymalizowana, a ustawienia grafiki są bardzo szczegółowe. Doceniam, gdy deweloperzy reagują na uwagi i robią wszystko, co w ich mocy, aby zadowolić nas, graczy!
